Secret Place

Psalms 91:1 – He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

            This beautiful Psalm speaks to us about dwelling in the secret place of the Most High.  This Psalm is known as the protection Psalm.  It teaches that there is a place of safety in the presence of God.  Many believers have claimed the promises in these Scriptures for protection.

What does the author mean about dwelling in the secret place of the Most High?  The secret place is a place of fellowship and communion that we can enjoy in relationship with the Lord.  God desires to have a personal intimate relationship with each of His children.

Jesus referred to the secret place in Matthew 6:6.  “But you, when you pray, go into your room (closet), and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” God is calling us into the secret closet to impart divine inspiration and direction for our lives.

The secret place is a place that can only be found in His presence.  It is the meeting place where He lifts us above the normal ordinary burdensome problems and trials that we are facing.  The secret place is where we learn to discern His voice.  It is the place where we learn what pleases or displeases Him. 

Who can come into this secret place?  It is a place reserved by our Heavenly Father for every believer.  The Holy Spirit calls us away from the distractions and noises we encounter in our daily lives into a place of communion and fellowship with Him.

 The Apostle Paul referred to the secret place as being “seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 1:3).  It is in the secret place that we understand that we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing.


The Lord invites each of us into this secret place.  We must be willing to spend time seeking His face, searching His heart, and learning His ways.  The secret place is calling today.

Rebuilding the Broken Altar of Prayer

In Matthew 21: 12-13 , “ Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus made this declaration, “My house shall be called a house of prayer!”  I believe that God is calling us back to the altar of prayer.  For several weeks the Lord has dealt with me about rebuilding the broken altar of prayer in our personal and corporate lives.  If we are going to see spiritual breakthrough in our churches and communities then we must rebuild and return to the altar of prayer. Wayman Rogers writes, “The ministry of prayer is the most important of all ministries in the church.  Prayer creates the atmosphere and binds the powers of darkness so the gospel of Jesus can go forward and the church can prosper....

The Fourth Month - The Month to See

  In   1 Chronicles 12:32   we learn that the Sons of Issachar had an understanding of the times and knew what Israel ought to do.  Like the sons of Issachar, we need to have an understanding of the times.  We are in a time of uncertainty and fear, therefore we need prophetic insight into what God has for us and desires to do in our lives. For some time I have been praying and asking God to give me insight into how He moves in time. The Sons of Issachar were masters of the calendar.  In  Exodus 12:2  the Lord establishes the Hebrew calendar.  “This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.”  The Hebrew calendar begins at Passover.  This is the calendar that God ordained and introduced in the Bible.  To better understand how God moves in times you can study the Hebrew calendar and the patterns that have been established in the Word of God.  Our Gregorian calendar is on a differ...

The Fifth Month - Av - The Month to Hear

--> The Fifth Month – Av The Month to Hear For a number of years I have been studying and praying for insight into how the Lord moves and works in time. We learn in 1 Chronicles 12:32 that the Sons of Issachar had an understanding of the times and knew what Israel ought to do.  They were masters of the Hebrew calendar.   In Exodus 12:2 the Lord established the Hebrew calendar. “This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.” The Hebrew calendar begins at Passover in the month of Nissan.  This calendar was God ordained and introduced in the Bible.   To better understand how God moves in times you can study the Hebrew calendar and the patterns that have been established in the Word of God.  Our Gregorian calendar is on a different time cycle than the Word of God. The Bible refers to the month of Av as the fifth month counting from Passover.  It corresponds to the months of ...
